Description
Bring a piece of India's rich artistic heritage into your home with this exquisite **Dhokra Brass Deer Figurine**. Meticulously handcrafted by skilled tribal artisans in regions like Bastar (Chhattisgarh), West Bengal, and Odisha, this sculpture is a stunning example of one of the world's oldest forms of metal casting.
The Dhokra process involves creating a detailed wax model, covering it in layers of clay, and then heating the mold to melt the wax out (hence "lost-wax"). Molten brass is then poured into the cavity, resulting in a **one-of-a-kind piece** where no two are ever exactly alike.
The Deer symbolizes **grace, peace, tranquility, and wisdom** in Indian mythology, making this figurine more than just a decor item—it’s an artifact that carries meaning and history. Its raw, intricate texture and warm brass finish blend perfectly with both modern and classic decor styles, making it an ideal statement piece for your living room, office, or study.
